	Joshua Gracin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gracin attracted audience support by being willing to butt heads figuratively, and in one case almost literally, with über-nasty judge Simon Cowell.
		Some attention was given to why Gracin was permitted time away from his unit to participate in the show, while many other Marine units were being sent to participate in the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
		More discussion ensued when with five singers left, Gracin survived a vote in which Trenyce was voted off; many viewers felt the wrong choice had been made, and a camera reaction shot revealed Gracin appearing uncomfortable with the result.

	Marine Advances In American Idol Contest, LCpl. Joshua Gracin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Joshua Gracin, 22, is one step closer to his dream of becoming the next "American Idol" after Wednesday night's performance on Fox Television.
		According to Gracin, it was suggested just prior to his time in front of the judges that he report in a military fashion to make his audition unique.
		Gracin explained that without the Marine Corps he might have never had this chance and that in addition to the support of his command he has also had the support of his wife, Ann Marie, and his family.

		Gracin moved one step closer to his goal Feb. 26 when America voted him into the final 12.
		Gracin, who was positioned in the fourth group of eight to perform, had to watch the performers and judges for three weeks before he could show his skills.
		While other contestants are asked general questions about the competition or their personal feelings, Gracin is often asked to comment on issues such as military deployment, the role of Marines in the war on terror, and to speculate on endless "what if" questions.

		Gracin closes with the fitting "The Other Little Soldier," a son's ode to a fighting father, which eschews treacle for genuine tenderness.
		Gracin, a serving lance corporal in the US Marines, was obliged to pull out of the subsequent American Idol tour because of his army commitments.
		Gracin made his debut for the label at the start of 2004 with "I Want To Live", followed by a self-titled debut album later in the year.

		In a newspaper interview, Gracin's own mother suggested the unit was being held back from the action so her boy could butcher "Bad Blood" on Idol.

		The unit, stationed at Southern California's Camp Pendleton, allegedly avoided deployment to the Middle East (where troops are amassing in preparation for a potential war between the U.S. and Iraq) while the Marine competes on the TV show.
		Gracin's unit was scheduled to remain at Camp Pendleton, near San Diego, to provide support where it was needed, according to a statement released on Monday.
		The statement also denies reports quoting members of Gracin's family that said the singing wonder would not be shipped off to the Middle East as long as he was performing on the show.

		Gracin's departure is not, however, a foregone conclusion.
		Producers have said that should Gracin be called to duty while he's still an active contestant on the show, he'll be able to join the finalists on a future "Idol" installment without having to go through the audition process.
		After his strong performance on Tuesday, Gracin appears to be in no danger of immediate dismissal by at-home voters.

		Though we don't know Gracin's official diagnosis, the singer's weight gain (Cowell's catty comments about his pudge inspired Gracin to do push-ups on stage) suggests he may suffer from hypothyroidism.
		Gracin's thyroid problems may be dragging down his ''Idol'' performances, but they shouldn't affect his ability to go back to his tough-guy day job when the time comes.
		Once he gets his vim and vigor back, Gracin, the king of the one-armed push-ups, should have no problem meeting the Marine's minimum standard of physical fitness: a 3-mile run in under 28 minutes, three pull-ups, and 60 crunches.

		If Joshua is so upset, maybe he should be home with his family instead of singing.
		To sum it up, I think Joshua was very insensitive towards the men (and women) already over there fighting when he made that comment.

		And the other question is if Joshua at this point even wants them to come out in droves, or if he'd rather just fade away at this point.

		Clay, Ruben, and Kimberley were at the top of their considerable powers, and the vastly appealing Trenyce was up to the challenge again, rising to their level.
		Joshua Gracin, a good guy, military man, and good but not great singer, was very, very clearly outclassed by the others, yet when the stunning vote was announced last night, Trenyce and Ruben [!!!!!] were the bottom two, and Trenyce was shown the door.
		I fear what is at play is a bias in favor of a military man in time of war, even though, through no fault of his own, Josh Grayson was singing and dancing in Hollywood while his cohorts were in harm's way in the desert halfway around the world.
